Portland Dating/Women - scene, numbers, attractive? (Phoenix, Burns: organic, live)

[aroseinrain]

I found this awesome website that lets you meld several people's faces together to see what they'd look like. I guess the point they are making is that people find "average looking" people more attractive than normal, everyday, interesting folk. Too bad.


Anyway, check it out -- it's pretty cool:
Face Research » Demos » Make An Average

Portland women look like they bat for the other team even if they don't (and many do). Not a single guy's dream.

Nonsense!
There are lots of very attractive women in Portland, I seen them up on NW 23rd and 21st street, Downtown, Hollywood district, and in Multnomah, all over the place. IMO, Bridgeport Village in Durham was very easy on the eyes of an old man like myself. I also recommend the Whole foods market on E Burnside near NE 28th street for attractive educated upscale women; except they may already be in relationships since the good ones get snatched up quickly.

And no, the really attractive ones are not going to hang out in bars and dives looking to hookup. They. Don't. have. To.

I have post this before in this thread.... You ain't looking in the right places.

Can we see some photos to back up these claims?

My wife and I talked about this a lot after the trip... I am from TX and she is from FL, and both states have a large number of beautiful people, especially in their urban areas. Maybe it's a Sunbelt thing, I don't know, but there was a major difference between here and there. My wife jokingly said, "Well, if we do move to Portland then I won't ever have to worry about you cheating on me."

Haha....I was born and raised in Los Angeles and I relocated here 8 years ago at the age of 32. I have to generally agree with jread.

Jread it is definitely a Sunbelt thing.

I always thought that Portland had a lot of attractive women. But, maybe I am not as shallow as some people here seem to be

Heck No!
You claim to be living in Texas, and you want us to post pictures of our women so you can pass judgment on our ladies. Noway! We don't care about YOUR judgment. That is just unbelievable arrogance on your part. Please don't come live here in Portland, and yes I am being rude to you.

And know this: Our Portland ladies are not, repeat NOT, going to wear attire just to display their bodies to be eye candy to just anyone, of any social standing, on the streets of Portland. Most of them have more class than that. They are people, and intelligent people, who can choose to wear clothing as they choose, for their own reasons. And when they choose to dress up, IMHO, they expect the same effort in their escort. Arm-candy = Arm-Candy.

During the summer. I get that a lot of women don't want to spend a lot of time on hair and makeup when the rain messes it all up. But come summertime (whenever that is), it seems there are plenty of attractive women at the parks or along Waterfront.

I've never really thought Portland women were all that fat either. But I'm biased, Christina Hendricks christina hendricks - Google Search is to my tastes.

If I were a young man, I'd learn Russian and convert to Orthodox to get into the Slavic community. If you drive by their churches on Sunday, either the old Eastgate theater or 92nd just south of Foster, you'd see why. Very attractive girls, but income verification is required.

Portland seems to have a lot of dating single-moms as well.
